Fukusaya Castella
There is a long-established shop that has continued to protect a recipe brought from Portugal for as long as 400 years. Founded in the first year of the Kan'ei era (1624), Fukusaya is a famous Nagasaki shop known as an authentic Castella maker. Inheriting the production method directly taught by Portuguese people who visited Japan, they bake using a unique manual technique called 'Beppoppo.' In this method, artisans crack eggs by hand and whip the egg whites sufficiently before adding the yolks and granulated sugar (zarame). It is said that they adjust the mixing intensity based on years of intuition, relying on the sound of the granulated sugar during stirring. The hallmark of Fukusaya is the moist sponge cake combined with the crunchy texture of the granulated sugar remaining at the bottom. It is a deep flavor born from simple ingredients: eggs, flour, sugar, and starch syrup. This is authentic Castella that Nagasaki proudly presents to the world.
